Firefly

A poem with a hidden meaning

So the woman loved the fireflies

Though it wasn’t meant to be

That an inch of light would wander

Unsuspectingly past her heart and being

And the pounding beat would stutter

Though she never questioned why

But soon the darkness lifted

And she wished them all goodbye

The day was all too new for her

The vanished world amiss

In all her thoughts and daydreams

Fireflies had touched her kiss

They pondered through her eyesight

Danced around her bed

And led her to the meadow

Where this woman wished instead

To be a tiny firefly

And dance amongst the stars

To fill another’s thoughts and dreams

To shine the brightest light to be

From inside her the wish had started

Her body began to shine

As the onlookers graced her presence

There was someone left behind

He looked upon her new beauty

And with a saddened sigh

Began to walk the other way

From his little firefly

She turned with her new eyesight

Now blinded by the sting

His memory swept her presence

His touch still tousled her wings

And with no other thought

She slowly wished again

To walk the earth with footsteps

And become a human

And as she walked closer towards him

The crowd left her behind

And he stared with deep admiration

Into her silver eyes

Their lips touched ever gently

Her man had wondered why

This light instilled inside him

Had ever wished to be a firefly
